The WearEver Premium Hard Anodized Saute Pan is surprisingly good value for the money. This one has been rated extremely well on Amazon with most reviewers very pleased with their purchase. This saute pan was also highly recommended by Cooks Illustrated. Overall this is a great buy for the money.

If you’re on a path to healthy eating or would just like a little more variety in your menu planning, you may have thought about stir-fry. The
Circulon 14-in. Nonstick Circulon Elite Stir Fry Pan will help you keep your health in check being able to stir up large pots of veggies without all the oil or butter that you typically need to use.

At 10 inches wide and 3 inches deep, there is space enough to cook a meal for a small family in the pan, getting everyone on a healthier eating track.

Not only is the nonstick surface on the inside of the pan promising, but if you have had a stir-fry pan in the past, you know one of the flaws is the cracking and peeling that happens on the outside of the pan because of the heated surface. Not in this case. The exterior of this pan is guaranteed never to fail. And it’s also oven safe, just in case you come up with a creative way to stir-fry in the oven.

Additionally, if you are going to stir fry traditionally, you may want to be able to toss those veggies in the air a time or two. Thankfully, the Calphalon Nonstick Stir Fry Pan has been made with what is called the Cool V handle. Essentially that means it has a great grip and is easy to hold on to for all those food aerial tricks.

Not only is this set of pots and pans attractive with their charcoal finish and matching lids, but also they are also very multi-functional pieces. This begins with that fact that they are nonstick without any special type of coating. The nonstick in this case comes from the stick-resistance in the metal. That means no peeling of coating and that you can, in fact, use metal utensils while cooking with these pots and pans.

The hard-anodized make up of these pots also allows for even heating on the stovetop or the broiler.

Finally, the shape of the lids on these pots will help keep your casseroles moist. The lids have a special dome shape that will drip that rising moisture right back into the pot instead of letting it stay on top of the lid and away from your food.

Included in this set are:

Covered Shallow Saucepan – 2 ½ Quarts With Lid

Skillet – 8 Inch

Skillet – 10 Inch

Skillet – 12 Inch

Casserole – 3 Quart With Lid

Casserole – 7 Quart With Lid

What We Like

The variety in the size of the pieces in this set makes sure you will have the right pot or pan for whatever you want to cook.

These pots heat evenly so you don’t have to worry about part of the meal being uncooked or burned to the bottom of the pan.

What We Don’t Like

Unfortunately, these are not dishwasher-safe which means hand washing and taking up more time at the sink.

Unless you are careful, food items will stick to the pan, which means even more clean up hassle on top of a spoiled meal.

This pair of skillets is like the perfect duet in the kitchen. At 8 and 10 inches, they are the right size to cook nearly anything you need heated and are made to do their job without any major muss or fuss.

This begins with a layer of nonstick coating and continues with the handles that will allow you to take these from the stovetop to the oven and back again. The handles are riveted to the pan and covered with silicon comfort grip handles, which make them a joy to hold. But they are also safe to put in the oven up to 400F. This means you can keep one pan warm while waiting for the other items you are cooking to finish their course or for the family to get together around the table.

Because the Circulon Elite 8 and 10 inch Open Deep Skillets have a nonstick surface, clean up of these pans asks for nothing more than a very mild dishwashing detergent and some warm water. A couple swipes with a cloth, and you’re done.

It is important to note that if you have a ceramic or glass top stove, you may not want to use these pans. The heavy anodized aluminum and your stovetops may not get along well with one another.

What We Like

These pans have a great nonstick surface that makes them a joy to cook with.

The fact that these skillets are deeper than usual makes cooking foods with oil or that may splash much easier to keep under control.

It heats evenly for a great meal every time.

Its nonstick surface is easy to clean, just wipe it off and they’re ready to go again.

This is the type of set I would buy for someone just learning to cook or if you are looking for a cheap cookware set but want something that is quality for the money.

One of the best features of the T-Fal range is the T-Fal Thermospots which are found on the bottom inside surface of the pans. This thermospot turns a solid red when the pan is preheated to the correct temperature. So it lets you know when you can start cooking.
